[x264-devel] Re: param.i_threads == num of slices?

[List, Peter]

Hallo all,

 

after the discussion in January and this mail, may I ask again to introduce slices to x264 again, this time without the parallelism to multithreading of cause. The code is still there, so it shouldn't be such a problem. 

Although useless for many applications, slices are definitely a great help for anything that goes in broadcasting mode over the internet (no retransmission). In my opinion, the "one slice == one packet" concept of the H.264-Network-Adaptation-Layer" is something that simply needs to be supported! 

 

Regards

                          Peter
